• Jeff03blue

• iPhone XS Max, IPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, S8, S9, S10, Note 8, Note 9, and other devices with curved edges.

• Impossible to provide because when you take a screenshot you can see parts of the screen that you can’t actually see in game.

• Patch v8.40, was fine in Patch v8.30.

• Just go to the lobby on one of the devices listed, and you will the that the FPS counter is cut off.

Issue: Major frame drops and performance issues

Username: fíjiboi

Platform: Android (Samsung Galaxy S8 US Variant)

Details: Performance in this device is very bad and worsens over time when playing. It can't keep a consistent 30 fps in hot drops and late game or anywhere where there are many buildings trees etc.

Additional Details: Back in August when android was beta, the devs tried removing shadows to alleviate the performance problem as stated in the android technical blog, but it wasn't enough for the game to run well enough.

• When using a controller on mobile, the game no longer automatically disables phone vibrations.

• Jeff03blue

• iPhone XS Max (Happens on all devices that have haptic feedback)

• Impossible to provide because you physically feel it.

• Patch v8.20 is the first time I noticed it, could of been v8.10. Not before though.

• Go into a match with a controller on mobile, and make sure the controller HUD shows up, and you will feel vibrations.

Issue: autorun is often irresponsive despite autorun being invisible since v8.40 (what im about to explain is not the same as the one introduced in 8.40). Happens often but a big problem when jumping out of the bus. The second I jump out, I usually double tap and it works but now I have to quadruple tap to get auto-run to kick in. Freq: 10/10. Happens as well whilst on the ground. Platform: Mobile Acc name: Check prof

Description - Sometimes in Creative mode there is no sound. Building, shooting, running, etc. makes no noise. Leaving Creative and going back in does not fix this issue. The only fix I have found is completely closing and restarting the game.

User - derekjayyy

Platform - iPhone XS Max

Example - Can't be provided since this is a sound glitch

Patch - v8.40.1

To reproduce it just start a game on a XS Max and go into Creative mode. It has happened to me 2 out of my last 4 Creative games so it should be easy to reproduce

• The font change in v8.40, in the settings, made it impossible to change controller dead zone settings. (It is impossible with your finger or the controller.)

• Jeff03blue

• iPhone XS Max (Happens on all devices).

• Image

• Patch v8.40

• Open the game menu, settings, navigate to the controller settings, navigate to the dead zone options, you will see that it is impossible to change the dead zone settings (with Touch or Controller input).

Hey u/iFlak I saw you swoop in and look at some of these comments. I just found this a few minutes ago, and was hoping you could sneak this in there.

• Sorry for the tag. I just didn’t want you to miss it, since you probably closed the tab.

Didn’t know all the devices on Android that had the issue, so I did not guess.

Edit: Added them.
